2 ounces silver tequila

2 ounces cranberry juice cocktail

1 ounce lime juice

1 tablespoon light agave nectar

Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake until the frustrations of holiday shopping start ebbing away. Strain into a glass. You can add some cranberries to merrily float around the top. (I didn’t feel the need to rim the glass with anything–after seeing the prices at the grocery store, I was salty enough.)
